Yunnan, located in the southwest border, has a long history. Many state governments were established here in ancient times. If we look at it from today's perspective, then this is a tourist attraction with spring all year round. After all, it is known as "
Plant Kingdom" and "Animal Kingdom", when you are tired of staying in the city, you will inevitably want to return to the embrace of nature sometimes.
In this vast land, there is a village far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. They are built on the mountains and are self-sufficient. Although they are somewhat out of touch with modern society, they still do not want to have too much contact with the outside world.
The people in this village all have the surname Jiang, and the village has no name, but all the villagers know that they are descendants of Shennong. It’s not that they don’t want to integrate into a society where technology changes life, but they are different from ordinary people, especially
It can be said that the young people in the village grew up entirely for the village.
The village chief here is called Fengsi, which represents the authority of the village and is in charge of everything here. The selection of Fengsi is extremely harsh. When each generation of Fengsi is about to die, nine people will be selected from among the young leaders of each branch.
, drink the blood of the sacrifice alive, and among these nine people, one person must survive, and the other eight people must be poisoned and die. Therefore, the person who survives will become the new sacrifice.
After thousands of years of inheritance, this village has always lived in this kind of tranquility, never participating in external disputes. This is a rule passed down from ancestors. As the old saying goes: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it."
"Although the villagers themselves don't feel anything, the two branches in the village, whether it is the Miaoshou branch or the Gu poison branch, will attract countless eyeballs if anyone puts it outside.
Although there is an extremely harsh selection system for priests, there are still differences between the main trunk and branches of the family in the village. The main trunk is called the clan, and the branches are called branch families.
The most important thing for the Zong family is bloodline. After all, the bloodline of Shennong Yandi still needs to be passed down. As it should be, the previous sacrifices are basically from the Zong family. Their strong bloodline allows them to possess extremely high talents. And
Branch families are almost always members of the auxiliary clan.
Whether it is a clan or a branch family, whether it is the Gu poison branch or the Miaoshou branch, every time a new baby is born, it is extremely eye-catching, because according to family legends, there is a one in ten thousand chance of returning to the ancestors.
When a child is born, if there is a birthmark in the middle of the chest in the shape of an ox's head with rolled up horns, then this person will definitely become a new generation of priests in the future. And his abilities will greatly exceed those of previous generations of priests.
Although this is a legend, the villagers have never forgotten that in the outside world, when a child is born, everyone must first see whether it is a boy or a girl. But here, no matter whether you are a boy or a girl, you must first check whether you are a boy or a girl.
Look at the chest.
Due to the pure bloodline of the Zong family and the high probability of being appointed to serve as priests, the status of the Zong family was extremely stable. Until more than ten years ago, a branch of the family gave birth to a baby girl. On the baby girl's chest, there was a double double
Cow's head birthmark with curled horns.
The news spread instantly, and the whole village was boiling. This extremely low probability actually happened. This was the second time in thousands of years of inheritance. At that time, the father of the baby girl knelt down directly in his yard.
Inside, he kept kowtowing and cried bitterly.
Of course, in this small village, there are still some people who don't want to see this news, and that is the clan clan in the village.
The Zong family has always had the purest bloodline. Unlike most branch families, the children of the Zong family have faced strict education since they were young. In addition to offering sacrifices, their goal is to maintain the purity of their bloodline. However, the birth of a baby girl made them start to
They became anxious, as if they had already seen the scene when the baby girl was elected to be enshrined.
And all the disciples of the clan can only worship below, which is something they don't allow in their bones.
But having said that, after all, they are from the same clan. No matter how hard it is, the children of the Zong family must work hard to compete without resorting to some dishonorable means. Therefore, the children of the Zong family’s generation will suffer more than the children of the same generation as the baby girl.
There were many more in the past, but luckily the sky opened its eyes, and among the many disciples, there really was such a genius. He was a boy named Jiang Yuzhu. He was just like his name, clean and tall, with an extraordinary temperament, a face like a crown jade, and the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.
Jiang Yuzhu is a disciple of the Miaoshou branch, but he has a very high level of understanding, recognizes and refines medicines, and is extremely skilled in the art of rejuvenation. He has attracted the attention of the clan since he was seven years old and has instilled ideas in him. He has only one enemy throughout his life.
It was the girl from the separated family, Jiang Lingxian.
This kind of thought affects Jiang Yuzhu all the time, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't surpass Jiang Lingxian. Because Jiang Lingxian is a disciple of the poison branch, and among all the disciples of the poison branch, she is the only one whose poison Jiang Yuzhu cannot detoxify.
But he has a strong nature. Every time he has a poison that cannot be cured, he must stay in seclusion for several days until he is cured. But every time he is cured of the poison, Jiang Lingxian must have a new poison that makes him fall again.
Carrying the name of Ten Thousand Poisons, Jiang Lingxian has been the focus of the entire clan since she was born. Her father often told her that she was born to be a worshiper, and the poison she can control also increases with age.
Getting stronger and stronger.
At the age of seventeen, she is at a lovely age, with a pair of big eyes that seem to sparkle with water, and a pink face that is always shining with dazzling light. However, there is cyan eye shadow on her eyelids, and her lips are slightly purple in color.
, which is affected by toxins.
In the process of growing up for more than ten years, she always believed that her goal was to worship. Until a year ago, a dying man named Chen Fan broke into the village. This man was only twenty years old. He was seriously injured and staggered.
He broke into the village, and under the treatment of kind villagers, Chen Fan quickly recovered.
This boy knows a lot about the outside world. His words, deeds, and everything he sees and hears all attract the attention of the young girl Jiang Lingxian. What girl doesn't miss spring? It is no surprise that Jiang Lingxian, who is in the prime of his youth, is getting along with Chen Fan.
Falling in love.
But as a candidate for worship, love cannot exist before taking office. Everyone in the village is opposed to the two of them.
Love is a matter between two people. Jiang Lingxian ignored everyone's objections and insisted on being with Chen Fan. Her bloodline was not pure anyway, so there was no point in marrying an outsider.
Chen Fan also vowed to take her out of the village and see the prosperous world outside. He knew that it was what she yearned for extremely. At this moment, Jiang Lingxian's heart of yearning for sacrifice had begun to waver, and she flew to
The world described by Chen Fan.
Chen Fan has been staying in the village for nearly a year. One night not long ago, the moon was shining brightly, the cool breeze was blowing on the water, and the fallen leaves were rippled. The two of them were sitting side by side. Jiang Lingxian listened obediently to what Chen Fan was saying.
She tells wonderful stories about the outside world.
"It would be great if I could go and take a look." Jiang Lingxian raised her head longingly and met Chen Fan's gaze.
The intoxicating eyes made Jiang Lingxian lose herself instantly. There were so many stories in these eyes that she couldn't wait to understand them one by one.
Facing Chen Fan's lips that were getting closer and closer, Jiang Lingxian's heart seemed to jump out of her chest. She was so panicked that she didn't know how to deal with it. She could only hold on to the grass beside her with both hands and stay on the spot.
Chen Fan raised his hand to hold Jiang Lingxian's chin.
People's lips touched together under the reflection of the bright moon. That wonderful feeling made Jiang Lingxian breathe quickly.
But things turned out far less well than she imagined. The moment Chen Fan kissed her, he fell to the ground in convulsions. He died without even giving Jiang Lingxian a chance to call someone.
Kneeling beside Chen Fan, Jiang Lingxian howled towards the bright moon and shouted Chen Fan's name loudly, startling countless birds.
She is poisonous, and she is poisonous herself. Chen Fan is just an ordinary person, how can he bear her poisonousness.
After the news spread, everyone except Jiang Lingxian himself breathed a sigh of relief. If Wan Gu Du was abducted, the village would be in chaos.
After Chen Fan died, Jiang Lingxian locked herself in the room every day. It was she who killed her beloved with her own hands. In less than a minute, Chen Fan was poisoned to death in front of her. This feeling made her
I began to hate my identity as a poisonous person, why was it me?
She began to envy Jiang Yuzhu, why she was destined to be a disciple of the Poison Branch but could not become a Miaoshou Branch.
Faced with their daughter's current situation, the parents can only let it go for the time being. After all, their daughter is still young and may forget it as time goes by.
Until this day, a group of people appeared in the village, holding Chen Fan's photo in their hands, and asked the villagers: "Excuse me, has this person been here before?"
This group of people is none other than He Taiyuan and his group.
Chen Fan was originally a subordinate of He Taiyuan, and his task was to monitor the Shennong clan. Chen Fan had been committed to this task for many years. When he learned about the Wan Gu poison, under the instruction of He Taiyuan, he began to approach Jiang Lingxian, but...
The cuteness of Jiang Lingxian made Chen Fan completely fall in love with this girl within a year, and then he died of poisoning.
Since Chen Fan was dead, He Taiyuan simply came in person. He calculated that this matter would have a profound impact on Jiang Lingxian, so this was definitely a good opportunity, a good opportunity to take away all the poisonous poisons.
Due to the strength of the Shennong clan, he still brought several of his men with him, just in case.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Chen Fan's master. My surname is He. I have no other intention of coming here. This guy told me that he was here some time ago. I have been reading for so long but I still don't believe him. Really?
I was worried, so I came here to take a look." He Taiyuan said to the villagers with a smile.
The whole village knew about Chen Fan. It was considered a big event here. Seeing the elders coming to the door, the villagers could only say with evasive eyes: "Oh, I don't know who beat that little baby."
He was seriously injured and fled to us. We tried all our methods but could not save him. He struggled for several days, but in the end he could not survive. Alas, it is all our fault that this place is too remote.
There is no good way."
He Taiyuan listened and laughed secretly in his heart: "If someone is seriously injured, no matter how serious the injury is, why can't you be so good at treating it?" But there was still a hint of surprise on the surface, and then he cried sadly: "My
Disciple, ah... In this case, please tell me where he is now, so that I can take him back to my hometown and bury him alive."
Seeing He Taiyuan's sad look, the villagers could only comfort him: "Brother, don't be sad, this is fate. I really don't know where he is now. If you go over there, that road, the third house on the right, he
Home knows best." The direction of the finger is exactly where Jiang Lingxian's home is.
He Taiyuan looked in the direction of the finger, thanked him, and then led a few people down the road. As soon as he turned his back, a smile appeared on He Taiyuan's face.
